Rimac Automobili Concept_One

I'd be a little nervous as the Ferrari driver ... of an impending collision. As such, I don't take much away from the acceleration comparison in this video.

Yeah,
that wasn't really a race. They couldn't have picked a worse location.

So many people underestimate the amount of time Tesla spent on the torque curves on the Roadster. They kept at it refining it again and again. Any who has driven other electrics (I'm looking at you Mini) will know the of Tesla genius.

Yeah. That seems like a very strange place to hold that kind of demonstration.

Rimac is now expanding into component supply http://green.autoblog.com/2013/06/12/rimac-automobili-expands-to-component-supply-ready-for-diy-evs/

One could make themselves a nice EV with his pieces. Maybe when I retire ...

Apparently the Rimac folks have taken to putting the car's performance specs on the body - just in case passers by were wondering.

According to tech.eu, Rimac has secured four sources of funding. One source is advanced customer orders; down-payments placed by buyers eager to get their hands on a vehicle that could, at least theoretically, keep pace with a Bugatti but on electric power alone. Another is a loan Rimac obtained from the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Sinocop Resources, a natural resources company based in Hong Kong, signed a non-binding agreement last month to buy 10 percent of Rimac Automobili for 7 million euros. Finally, and perhaps most crucially, is the backing which Rimac has received from Frank Kanayet Yepes, a Croatian-Columbian, green-energy investor who knows a thing or two about cars.

Request for the TMC Connect 2015 committee:
Any chance they could arrange for viewing (and riding?!) Concept_One at Connect? If they want to bill it as an amusement park ride, I'd be willing to pay something reasonable.

If I'm understanding the readout correctly - is it actually regenerating on the inside front wheel and accelerating on the outside front wheel through some of the turns? That's very cool.
